The people behind the places

Parks and Leisure Australia (PLA) is the leading industry association for professionals in the sector. Our aim is to build, serve and develop a strong and united parks and leisure industry in Australia.

As the national peak body for the people behind the places', we support our members through the provision of training, professional development, research, advocacy and provide a range of products and services.

PLA has provided me a wealth of opportunities to meet and collaborate with other open space and recreation professionals eager to share their knowledge and has also allowed me to share my ideas in a cooperative and safe environment.

Louise, Consultant

It's important to keep up with new technology and techniques in managing Parks & Open Spaces and hear from industry leading operators about how we can do things more environmentally friendly and effectively. I also enjoy the networking and meeting people from the different organisations. It keeps me fresh and motivated to improve things.

Jason, Manager, Hume City Council

I have found the seminars and conferences run by PLA have provided a vehicle to create friendships and professional affiliations amongst the membership from as close as the adjoining council to as far away as interstate and overseas.
